Despite the fact that economic and demographic situation in the Kaliningrad region is more favorable than in the majority of other Russian regions, disparities between availability and quality of labor resources, and the needs of the region’s economy have been established. The authors also note that one of the prerequisites to reduce disparity is the implementation of Human Capital Development ...
